Install Front Camber Kit

Has anyone done this theirself or do I need a pro to do it?

If I do need a pro how much should it cost?

It's not that difficult. You would need a fork tool and about 2 or so hours depending on what you know to install it. All your pretty much replacing is the ball joint.

I did it, not hard at all. You should be able to do it if you're handy.

I just did my fronts and rear yesterday.... I followed Austin519 instructions. Took my like 1.5 hours to do one side and like 20 min to do the other side...after you did it once..it's faster

I'm not a mechanic...but you have to feel comfortable doing this kind of stuff and you have know alittle of what your doing.. not really hard at all. IF you installe ur own intake, exhaust and sway bars...this should be find.

To take it out...in So Cal. it's about 80 bucks

theres NO POINT in installing a camber kit yourself.

In order to get the full benefits of a camber kit you need to get a proper alignment by a professional.

If you are paying for an alignment... most shops will only charge you an HOURS worth of labor to install a camber kit on all fours.

I've got a lifetime alignment with firestone so the alignment portion is really no issue. The said they will charge $80 for the front camber kit. I figured that if it is as simple as say changing brake pads, I can do it my damn self and save the $80 bucks. I realize that I will have to take to them immediately after I am done to get the correct alignment.

It was SIMPLE! My friend did it for me today for $50. He is a mechanic at a dealership so he had access to all tools and everything. Took 30 minutes for both sides. Now I just have to get my alignment and I am good to go!
